Bug#1067486: more information

[Bastian Blank]

Hi

binNMU are known to not work on the signing side of the archive.

dpkg contains special handling for binNMU style versions.  If it sees a
1-1+b1 as version, it will search some source files with version 1-1.
This means you can never properly have a source package with such a
version.

As the signing stuff just munges packages together and then calls
dpkg stuff on it, the resulting files will show up in the wrong location
and the whole thing errors out.

The internal state tells that signing failed and will not be retried:

| id                       | 4958
| ts                       | 2024-03-28 12:50:25.021108
| template_package_name    | grub-efi-amd64-signed-template
| template_package_version | 2.12-1+b1
| state                    | failed
| error_msg                | Command '['dpkg-genchanges', '-S', '-DDistribution=sid', '-UCloses', '-O../grub-efi-amd64-signed_1+2.12+1+b1_source.changes']' returned non-zero exit status 255.
